How was your week? Not a whole lot going on here. I'm doing two upper and two lower body weight workouts a week and throwing in a walk or pool when I can. I'm feeling pretty good-my hamstring is still super tight so I'm doing a lot of foam rolling for it. Been baking bread, playing cards...

Hi! Thank goodness-Aaron is ok. He's back at his apartment. I haven't had a chance to talk to him about the smoke damage. I plan on calling him later today. All is pretty good here. It's nice to be home and I'm planning on doing some deep cleaning this weekend-the cobwebs are taking over...

Hi! Happy New Year! We had a great time visiting Aaron. His new place is better than his last so he feels good. He's in Santa Monica since last December and even though his company moved some of their offices back to San Francisco he wants to stay where he is. We would be happy to go back...

We leave tomorrow morning to see Aaron! I ended up taking today off to ease some of the stress. I'm planning on cleaning today and getting the cats all set, getting gas in the car, etc. Feeling pretty good in the hip/leg/foot area (about 80%). I have not gone to PT in two weeks and am just...

I had a good week. Went to see a show in town on Friday night and have been doing my stretching and workouts with consistency. I actually cancelled PT for tomorrow and didn't have it last week. I feel like I'm as good as I can get for now. We just did online shopping for people-lots of...

How is December going?! I hope your son in VA is doing well. Does he like his new job so far? I can not even imagine driving across the country. A friend of mine from book club who moved back to Cleveland last year drove from Cleveland to Oregon this past summer to sight see and her son...

I'm loosely doing two upper body weight and two lower body weight/pt work a week. Other than that just 20 minute walks and 20 minute bike rides when I can fit them in. I feel pretty good with my ankle taped and will continue to do that for a while. The podiatrist said I could walk and that the...

Not much going on here. Starting to have a new crop of staff leaving the office so it's getting more hectic there. I've been wrapping my ankle/foot with good effect. I did make an appointment to see podiatrist Monday to get some advice. Been doing upper body weights, pt, and bike. Your...

Hello! Hopefully exercise is helping with your stress. I have been sleeping terribly and have gotten up before 5 a few times to ride bike or do upper body. 94 pounds! I understand that's not your PB, but dang that is a lot of weight! Keep at it. Even 20 minutes here and there will help. I...

How was your week? I had a short one since I took Friday off. I've been wearing the brace. It goes between the hip bones and the greater trochanter crest. It's not too uncomfortable and I think it's helping a little. Still a work in progress trying to get to walking without pain. PT has...

Wow-you are up early today! I had a pretty good week. My mental health is tied to my lack of being able to exercise like I'd like to. I need cardio for stress and weights to feel stronger. So, I did a pool workout and a bike ride last week as well as two upper body weight workouts and two...

Have you looked into the psoas muscle? It's under the ribs and connects back through leg in the front. Mine had a charlie horse in it and Monday at therapy he got that out and I felt a lot better. Unfortunately, I tried a 10 minute treadmill walk last night and ended up throwing both the SI...

Just rolling along here. I've been trying to get two upper body weight workouts in a week between my lower body rehab exercises. Plan is to go to the pool this morning for a bit of cardio. After nearly 60 years, I took a stand and put a political sign in my front yard on Monday. It was stolen...

Well, thank you for putting things in perspective. You are right-I do try and that's all I can do. I do feel like my mom just wants me to keep my distance and just help her when she asks. So that's what I'm going to do. Plus knowing it's not just my family makes me feel better, but I wish it...

Good morning! Are you feeling better? DS2 has Covid now. It's everywhere. We are seeing a lot at the office. Fortunately I tested negative last week and was able to work on Friday. I'm feeling better. This past Monday I started back at PT for my back and leg. He said I was locked, but not...

I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL. At least they know what it is and can treat it. I wish the same could be said for your abdominal pain. Doing what you feel like is where I'm at too. Some days weights, some days a 20 minute walk, some days pool. Speaking of covid...I've been home sick...

Yikes, job hunting is a nightmare. No wonder you're not sleeping well. Good plan to get your resume updated. I hope it all works out. To me, two weight and two walks is a normal week of workouts! I did one chest and then one upper body last week (the one part day didn't even make it a...

I'm so glad you got away and had some quality down time at the condo. Did you sleep any better there? I've been taking a 20 minute walk just about every day. I consider it my body's bone walk and so far so good. Did more biking for cardio this week since the weather was nice. This weekend...

Hi! I hope you are enjoying your time off! Are you guys going to your condo for part of it? I'm trying to talk Dan into going to Buffalo this coming Saturday to the second biggest art museum in New York state. They have some of the Impressionists works in their collection. I'm pushing for...

Hey! How are you? How is school going for the girls? How is work? I am doing fine. I've started doing the ICE weight work-one body part a day. Monday was chest, Wednesday was back. Shoulders-planned for Friday and Bi's and Tri's on Saturday (such small muscles I'm going to do abbreviated...
